Preview Round 15: Richmond vs Carlton @ MCG - Friday 7:50pm, 10/07/2015

[Bold Tiger]

Matt McDonough should be rewarded for his consistency at VFL level and Sam Lloyd should get another chance soon as he has been very good for a number of weeks now. Not sure why it's taken so long for Matt to be given another game, but I think he will be a very good player if given an opportunity and the support of our coaches

 

[WATiger86]

Be very interesting to see ty ruck a full game

If Griff gets up we may have this luxury, but if Griff's shoulder is no good... Crack out the parachute pants, Its Hammer Time!

 

[Cevap_Roll]

If cripps doesnt play I say just play 4 midfielders and dont even worry about a ruckman, who would Kruze/Wood tap to?

Judd

 

[jesterx]

Deledio in the ruck? It's been done before!

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Wont happen but I would love Vickery to play 100% in the ruck bring in McBean and Mckenzie for Maric and Griffiths.

Wouldn't mind Lennon in for Lambert.

If not Mckenzie as he's most likely to raw let give Elton a crack.

I would love to see mcbean and mckenzie in for griffiths and maric. More importantly would love them in and we get the win!!!
If griffiths is OK then only mcbean comes in!

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Maric out for 1 game.

Shift Vickery to the ruck and have Griff and even Mcbean contest the stoppages up the ground.
Good test for our young talls.

 

[copthat]

Richo into the ruck.

 

[silvertiger]

Another one..?? How on earth were they rubbish?

The highlights were okay, but he doesn't look intense. His pace also looked average. Only good thing is his kicking and marking.

Needs confidence.

Needs confidence.

They are his strengths... He didn't have many times when he needed to be sprinting because he had worked into space so well.... All (almost) VFL games look 50-75% slower than AFL games.... always have... always will.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Up against Wood and Kreuzer we shouldn't have to worry too much about winning the hit outs as it's more the work on the deck that Kreuzer excels at whilst Wood is useless for most of the game and does the occasional good thing. But we could also have a huge advantage in the clearances by playing Hampson and I think I would play him provided Wood plays and have him battle him out with Wood with Vickery and Griffiths taking on Kreuzer.

 

[THE_GUN]

Im Staggered to see that this has not yet been mentioned and im really excited to be able to have the chance to suggest it first







GRIGGS in the ruck

 

[Squibbs]

So excited to see Grigg playing in his favourite position - ruck

 

[mellowyellow]

Ivan's loss will really hurt, so much is expected from our ball getter's to get first use and nullify kruezer

 

[thefendoff]

Give vickery the responsibility. Tell him now hell be playing a full game in the ruck so he can get himself up for it. Really think he could still be a very good ruckman

 

[DontArgue4]

Any news on Griff?

 

[Deanos]

Judd

He shouldn't be able to play yet............i'm outraged.

 

[silvertiger]

Agree. Give Vickery the responsibility and you never know he might to a Stefan Martin and dominate!

 

[Rubber Hips]

A 4 quarter effort and we will smash them
Anything less keeps them in the game

 

[THE_GUN]

Hampson needs to play, He has recieved $500,000 dollars from this club so far and just when we need somebody to fill in for Maric he cant play the injured card - He was ready to play vfl last week and has had another week - so muct put his hand up

If Astbury is ok to play he should come into the team along with McBean if spud isnt playing

I'm leaning in that direction too, pick him, let him take the ruck for 2/3 of the game then sub him out if he's running out of gas from lack of match fitness

 

[Deanos]

Richmond forward Ben Griffiths was substituted out of the Tigers' win over Greater Western Sydney in the third quarter on Saturday after suffering a partial dislocation, or subluxation, of his shoulder.

Larkins said Griffiths had been carrying a shoulder problem for some time and should be not be sidelined by Saturday's injury.

“It's a condition that Richmond knows about. They might do some extra scans to see if he's done any additional damage but it's likely he'll be able to continue playing with strapping," Larkins said.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

If Griffo is ok, I would bring in McBean for Maric and play TV in the ruck. Hampson hasn't played for four weeks so he wouldn't be my first option.

 

[DontArgue4]

Hopefully that's the case, larkins has been wrong a lot lately though

 

[Plugger46]

Don't see why it would be an issue, show your colours mate!
